Teaching Tasks for the Weekend

I have had a mostly fun and relaxing weekend so far, so much so that I feel the need to make myself a list of teaching tasks to complete before Monday.

1. Create a week of lesson plans for the 9th graders, especially since I'll be out Wednesday (jury duty) and Friday (a conference)

2. Create a week of lesson plans for the 11th graders, especially since I'll be out Wednesday (jury duty) and Friday (a conference)

3. Write six (three are due on Dec. 1, the other three by Jan. 1) letters of recommendation.

4. Finish The Unbearable Lightness of Being and write a quiz for Monday.

5. Run to Red Canoe and pick up my 100 copies of To Kill a Mockingbird

6. Complete my Directed Reading activity for my Reading course, due on Monday. I could probably just do something really easy and move on with it, but I'm doing King Lear.

7. Write my King Lear unit (starting in about a week, so can put that off).

8. Figure out the www.edublogs.org website. I really want my 9th graders to be doing some of the technology-driven things that my juniors do, but I don't think the nicenet.org site is the best place to do it on. I need to experiment with more sites that aren't blocked at school (I do most of my thinking and planning at home, though, so it's hard to know what is blocked and what is not blocked.)

Not bad.

Only one out of eight completed? Looks like you're going to have a busy night, my friend!
